football team. The manager gives them water.
They laugh and smile. While most huddles work at
strategic terms, this group seems to have more trouble
thinking of what to yell when their huddle disembarks. They
have little trouble back on the court.

say, 'Let's go."'
Either way, Heppner's Fillies, undefeated in conference
games with only a pair of dual falls in a tourney, have built
themselves into district contenders with hopes of state
playoffs.
Rebekah Randall's Fillies, (that's female Mustangs),
haven't had the crowd support that turns out for the Mustang
grid clashes. They haven't had the publicity or the
community awareness.
But it hasn't seemed to bother them much. Since those
losses in a tourney at Dayville, Heppner has won nine clashes
in a row, including two wins over AAA Hermiston.
They' are assured of a district berth even before the
sub-district match, slated for Tuesday, November 2, in
Condon. Because the Fillies are one of the two top teams in
the Columbia Basin Conference West, they receive a first
round bye and automatically head towards district hopes.
District will be played on Saturday, November 6, in
Pendleton at Blue Mountain Community College.
Down the line, the 12 Fillies have improved drastically
since the beginning of the year.
Maureen Healy has improved 100 per cent in the last two
weeks, according to Randall. Miss Healy, the younger of two
sisters on the squad, has moved into the top spiker spot for
Heppner.
Teresa Peck, a newcomer who has been out due to an auto
accident, came out last week and according to the Heppner
mentor, will help the team a lot.
Vtcki Edmundson. the team's top server with 80 points In 11
games, is also a good setter.
Diane Holland, who was named to the all-tourney squad at
the Dayville tourney, is an all-around player who would be
a welcome addition to any squad.
Darla Cooper, who Randall calls the best all-around player
on the team, has 73 points in serves and is a constant spirited
reminder to teammates with yells of encouragement.
Janice Healy is called a good spiker and an improved
server. Jackie Mollahan has come on in the last couple weeks
as a respected server among HHS foes.
Deb Holland is termed an excellent back row digger and a
good spiker. Lori Rea. who is used only to serve, packs a big
punch in her small frame and has come up with S3 points on
serves for Heppner.
Bonnie Schiller, a senior player, is capable of taking
anyone's place. Randall said. Schiller is joined by junior
